The Absurdity of Life

Live a more meaningful life with lessons from philosophy and even pop culture.

At some point, we are all touched by loss and disappointment. We have all been let down by people and circumstances. People we expect to act with integrity at some crucial juncture fail us and we need to pick ourselves up and make sense of it all.

This book is crafted to set you down a path to realizing your very own philosophy so you can live an authentic, more meaningful life. You're holding a timeless collection of thought from some of the greatest minds that ever lived. It spans centuries and cultures and, never academic or dry, even touches upon how pop culture often holds clues on how to live better. I include pop-culture because everything is sacred. You don't need to be a sage or philosopher. If any human can do it any of us can do it there are clues there to be found everywhere.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.
― Charles W. Eliot

So, what do you know about life?

Not so much what opinions do you have, but how much time have you spent contemplating the big questions and considering what the greatest minds have had to say on the subject throughout history?

All parents wish to impart the best of themselves to their children. This is why I have written this book based on my own decades of investigation and contemplation. It is here to share the first love of my life with my daughter, my search for meaning.

This is your invitation to join us.

You won't find a more comprehensive overview of the history of thought on this topic laid out so simply and thoughtfully to support you in the development of your very own philosophy of life. Many of us are sleepwalking through life. No one taught us that living is an action so few of us have ever considered the art of the thing.

It's not a topic in school

Our friends aren't doing it

Our families were raised the same way

Luckily for us, however, throughout history some exceptional humans have left us clues. We need to live intentionally before it's too late. We need a different path.
